The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, assured this Wednesday that “some people” who advise US President Donald Trump want to “intervene” in Mexicobut he ruled out that this vision is “personally” that of the Republican, with whom he spoke on Friday.
“We have to be very vigilant about how far some want to intervene, because you cannot say the United States, I don’t even believe in that, the truth is, personally, I think it’s the president (Trump). There are some who advise him, who are there“said the president in her daily press conference.
Without offering the identity of these people, Sheinbaum stated that they want to “introduce” Mexico into the debate of the November midterm elections in the United States with a “very electoral” vision.
Likewise, he stressed that “They are not going to intervene” in the 2027 elections in Mexicowhen the renewal of Congress is scheduled, more than ten state governments and more than 2,000 municipal administrations.
“Well no, Mexico is no one’s piñata (…) Here the Mexicans decide”he added.
In this way, he vindicated his Government’s political project of “defense of sovereignty” with concrete results in various matters.
“Because, if we were not honest, we could not be giving results. If there were no honesty in the management of resources, there could be no senior citizen pension, there could be no disability pension, there could be no scholarships, there could be no trains,” the president concluded.
The bilateral relationship between both countries is marked by recent allegations in the United States about alleged links between Mexican politicians and organized crime and after the surrender in the United States of two former officials from the state of Sinaloa, Gerardo Mérida and Enrique Díaz Vega, accused by Washington of drug trafficking.
This Thursday, the head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Markwayne Mullin, is scheduled to arrive in Mexicowhile on Monday, May 25, the US ‘anti-drug czar’, Sarah Carter, director of the Office of National Drug Defense Policy, will arrive.
These visits seek to follow up on Friday’s phone call between Sheinbaum and Trump, a conversation that the president described as “cordial and excellent” and that occurred amid growing security tensions. EFE
